What to expect

The recipe to the ultimate Scottish experience is rather simple with just three ingredients: castles, lochs and whisky. You'll move at a relaxed pace as you savour the true flavour of Scotland with stops at some of Scotland's most loved attractions. Explore Stirling Castle and town, admire the stunning scenery of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, and enjoy a tour of a whisky distillery, finishing the day off with a couple of drams.

Kick off your day as you drive by the mysterious Kelpies, based on the mythical, shape-changing water creatures who disguise themselves as horses.

Then you'll hit the road to Stirling where your guide will bring the history of William Wallace to life! Stirling is a historic market town with a wealth of treasures to explore. You'll have plenty of time to discover the town and the castle at your own pace or if you prefer something different, why not visit the gin distillery or take a stroll through the ancient streets.

Then it's time to head over Duke's Pass to take in the dramatic views of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Enjoy lunch here at a picturesque lochside village either at Aberfoyle or Balmaha, and take a short hike or explore at your leisure.

Our final stop of the tour is at one of Scotland’s Scotch Whisky Distilleries. With 44 bottles of Scotch Whisky exported every second to markets all over the world, no visit to Scotland is complete without learning how they produce this iconic drink, and you can taste a couple too!
